Programming and Debugging
*************************

Flashing
========

The LPCXpresso11U68 board can be flashed by using the on-board LPC-Link2 debug
probe (based on a NXP LPC43xx MCU). This MCU provides either a CMSIS-DAP or
a J-Link interface. It depends on the embedded firmware image. The default
OpenOCD configuration supports the the CMSIS-DAP interface. If you want to
switch to J-Link, then you need to edit the
``boards/arm/lpcxpresso11u68/support/openocd.cfg`` file and to replace::

   source [find interface/cmsis-dap.cfg]

with::

   source [find interface/jlink.cfg]

.. note::
   The firmware image of the LPC-Link2 can be updated using the
   `LPCScrypt tool <https://www.nxp.com/design/microcontrollers-developer-resources/lpc-microcontroller-utilities/lpcscrypt-v2-1-1:LPCSCRYPT>`_.

.. note::
   The `Mbed project <https://os.mbed.com>`_ also provides some firmware images
   `here <https://os.mbed.com/teams/NXP/wiki/Updating-LPCXpresso-firmware>`_.
   In addition to a CMSIS-DAP interface, they also provide a convenient update
   mechanism through a pseudo USB disk.

Here are the steps to flash a firmware you built into a LPCXpresso11U68 board:

#. Connect the "Link" micro-B USB port to your host computer.
#. Next, simply run the ``west flash`` command

Debugging
=========

Please refer to the `Flashing`_ section and run the ``west debug`` command
instead of ``west flash``.
